The mission of the peer mentorship program at HCGH is to connect newly diagnosed cancer patients with a mentor who has experienced a similar diagnosis. The goal is to provide support, companionship, comfort and to reduce isolation.
The Claudia Mayer / Tina Broccolino Cancer Resource Center at Howard County General Hospital offers hope and support to cancer patients, families and caregivers. The center is designed to assist individuals and families through counseling, stress and symptom management, care planning, system navigation, education, aesthetic services and resource identification. We connect persons diagnosed with cancer, and their families, with essential community, state and national resources.
